BMO Capital Starts Pure Storage (PSTG) at Outperform

BMO Capital initiates coverage on Pure Storage (NYSE: PSTG) with a Outperform rating and a price target of $25.00.

Analyst Tim Long commented, "We are initiating coverage of Pure Storage with an Outperform rating and a price target of $25. We believe the disruptive move in the storage industry toward all-flash arrays (AFA) will go faster than most expect. We expect AFA revenues to grow by a nearly 30% CAGR from 2014 through 2019. Pure should gain share based on its first-mover advantage and growing installed base. We also believe that the innovative Evergreen model will help Pure not only win incremental business, but also maintain customers at a higher rate than the industry. Although the company is still almost two years from profitability, we believe the stock works as revenues keep surprising to the upside."
